RE: center a table in a presentation

Hi Pamela

Thanks for your question.

Yes, there is a way of centring a table on a slide without manually adjusting the table's position yourself, but it is a bit long-winded.

What you need to do is:
1. Click on the outside of the table to select the whole table.
2. Go to the Draw button on the drawing toolbar and select Ungroup.
3. Then go to the Draw button on the drawing toolbar and select Group.
4. Then go to Draw - Align and Distribute and select the Relative to slide option.
5. Then go to Draw - Align and Distribute again and select Align Centre.

Give it a go and let us know if this works for you or not.

thanks
Amanda

Failing this, you can turn the grid on (View -> Grids and Guides...), then use that to help you centre the table.

PowerPoint tip:

Quick undo last action using shortcut

A well-used and favourite shortcut is Control + z.

If you are typing and you need to undo an action, it is quicker to undo using the keyboard, rather than reach for the mouse.

so control + z to undo....
